    Adrenomedullin restores the human cortical interneurons migration defects induced by hypoxia

    Alyssa Puno, Wojciech P Michno ... Anca M Pasca
    Exposure of human cortical interneurons to hypoxia leads to decreased migration, a process that is likely altered in preterm infants and contributes to the increased risk for neurodevelopmental problems.

    Drug-induced changes in connectivity to midbrain dopamine cells revealed by rabies monosynaptic tracing

    Katrina Bartas, Pieter Derdeyn ... Kevin T Beier
    Addictive drugs, as well as ketamine/xylazine, change the connectivity to ventral tegmental area dopamine cells, which may be related to cellular activity.

    A meta-analysis suggests that TMS targeting the hippocampal network selectively improves episodic memory

    Elena Badillo Goicoechea, Phillip F Agres ... Joel L Voss
    Meta-analysis indicates that network-targeted non-invasive brain stimulation consistently enhances memory function supported by the hippocampal network, thus providing robust evidence that specific memory abilities rely on specific modifiable brain networks.

    Effort produces after-effects costly for others but valued for self

    Ya Zheng, Rumeng Tang
    Neural reward signals following effort are amplified for self-benefiting outcomes but attenuated for other-benefiting outcomes, contingent upon reward magnitude and individual effort sensitivity.
